Why the shape of weights are hexagonal?
why not??
What is a hexagonal pyramid?
a hexagonal pyramid is a 3-d shape with two hexagonal bases and three triangular faces!
What is the hexagonal part of a honey comb?
the cell
Which part of the hexagonal honey comb does the bee deposit the honey?
The honeybee does not deposit honey. The bee deposits nectar collected from flowers, (regurgatated as liquid spit) into the comb. It sits on the bottom of the comb and the bees flutter their wings to evaporate the water out until it is the consistency of honey as we know it.
What descriptive mathematical term is used to describe the six sided cells of a honey comb?
Hexagonal
Why is a honey bee honey comb a hexagon?
So the bees can store more honey in the nest/hive(I think...). - TSR
What shape is a honey cone?
If there was such a thing as a honey cone, it would be conical in shape. A honeycomb is composed of hexagonal (6-sided) structures.
Does honey comb contain honey?
yep the honey comb is made out of wax the honey is in the honey comb
How do you remove honey from a honey comb?
To remove honey from a honeycomb, you can cut the comb out of the beehive and then place it in a centrifuge, which spins the comb to extract the honey. Another method is to crush the comb and then strain it through a fine mesh to separate the honey from the wax.
Why only hexagonal shapes in honeycomb structures?
Not really sure. It could be that the favourite shape of a honey bee is a hexagon!
Why do bees make a hexagonal shape?
Bees make hexagonal honeycomb cells because it is the most efficient shape for storing the most honey using the least amount of wax. The hexagonal shape allows for cells to be tightly packed together, maximizing storage capacity while minimizing material usage. Additionally, the angles of the hexagon provide structural stability to the honeycomb.
How does bees brush there hair?
An honey comb
When liquid water freezes into ice it's molecules align to form?
Ice exist in a very great variety of crystals (hexagonal crystalline structure).
Why are honey bee hives created with hexagons?
The cells are laid out on the comb in a hexagonal pattern because this is the most economical use of the space, giving the greatest number of cells in a given area, using the least amount of wax. Also it is a strong structure: a comb can hold ten times its own weight of honey.
